MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough thinks it’s time for Elon Musk to get back to his car business.

As Tesla’s stock numbers tank in tandem with the billionaire’s public approval ratings, the team of panelists on “Morning Joe” speculated that Musk might use Tuesday’s earnings call to announce his exit from the White House’s rogue budget-slashing initiative, the Department of Government Efficiency.

On the day of Tesla’s highly anticipated first quarter report, Scarborough said that Musk distracting himself in Washington, D.C., is the “last thing the guy needs to do” while his car company is “getting pounded.”

“All he’s doing is damaging his brand,” the left-leaning pundit said.

“What has he lost, $100, $150 billion?” Scarborough later asked. “It is time to go back to your day job ... Tesla is getting routed.”

While the “Morning Joe” headliner explained the political side of Tesla’s business woes, journalist Jonathan Lemire of The Atlantic reminded his fellow panelists that President Donald Trump’s tariff war wasn’t helping the electric vehicle company.

CNBC reported that, as of Monday’s NASDAQ close, Tesla stock was down a sharp 44% since the start of this year.

With Musk’s status as a “special government employee” already expiring at the end May, it’s rumored he’s gearing up for his departure from the world of the White House.

Someone “familiar” with the CEO’s thinking recently told The Washington Post he’s “ready to exit because he is tired of fielding what he views as a slew of nasty and unethical attacks from the political left.”
